Noah's annual meeting was held in an indoor basketball hall at Xia Nan University of Technology. Yes, it is Yao Yayao's alma mater.

This is a high-quality wood-floored basketball hall with only two rebounding racks and can only accommodate one team. The total number of seats in the audience is within 3,000. Spectator seats are located on all four sides of the arena.

Today, the grounds have been carefully renovated and furnished.

The goal frame with two rebounds was temporarily removed. On top of the two rebounding planes, there is now an ultra-thin electronic screen.

The central playing field was laid with a large red carpet on the ground. Colorful balloons, red ribbons, red lanterns, and the like are everywhere in the room, and it looks like a traditional and festive taste.

A live luxury band, entrenched just below one of the rebounding racks. All the band members, guitarists, bassists, drummers, etc., are all dressed in strange costumes and look like they are hanging out. They are surrounded by all kinds of musical instruments.

Near the bottom of the other rebounding stand is a white grand piano.

The central venue is surrounded by rectangular desks, with only a few reserved entrances exposed. The desks are covered with floral cloths and are filled with a variety of drinks and food.

The last row of the auditorium is also surrounded by rectangular desks. It is also full of drinks and food, like a buffet layout.

The auditorium was filled with seventy or eighty percent of the spectators, perhaps more than two thousand.

On closer inspection, the audience in the four directions of the east, west, north and south seating areas is clearly divided into different camps.

Hundreds of people in Zone A wore Noah's black company uniforms or colorful costumes for the night; Most of the people in Area B are blond and blue-eyed crooked nuts, and they are not too old, like international students from all over the world.

Area C is basically composed of middle-aged and elderly people, most of whom are professors and lecturers who have been specially invited from universities across the country; Zone D is a group of advanced gamers who have been specially invited to the game of "Magic High School" by Noah. Most of their identities are college students and graduate students in colleges and universities across the country.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Noah's annual meeting officially began.

All the lights in the indoor basketball hall were turned off at the same time. Then, a focused beam of light appeared in the center, automatically tracking a young man in sync, and walked to the very center of the central field.

This man is the CEO of Noah Company, the president of Bu May.

He wears a black suit and a crimson tie. He first smiled and bowed in four directions very seriously, taking turns to all the audience members.

As the applause of the audience gradually subsided, he began to speak:

"Distinguished guests, good evening!"

"I am the incumbent CEO and president of Noah's company, and I am possible."

"Before the official start of tonight's program, I will preside over a small speech, which can be regarded as an additional pre-dinner hors d'oeuvre."

"What is the title of my talk today? It's called "The World Game, Only the Rich Are Not Broken"! (Applause from the audience.) ）

"Martial arts in the world, only fast is not broken. These eight words were originally the core of the famous martial arts master, Mr. Youlong's writing and martial arts competition. This phrase is widely circulated and many people know it. ”

"At this year's Singles Shopping Festival, President Ma Yun, the CEO of the famous all-you-can-eat shopping website, gathered a group of kung fu movie stars and specially made a short kung fu movie called "Tribute Knife".

"In particular, it is necessary to point out that 'tribute' is the tribute of the tribute, 'receiving' is the receipt of money, and 'knife' is the knife of the first knife of Fengyun. After President Ma Yun's set of slashing techniques came down, the losers across the country frantically lined up for her to pay tribute. She collected so much money that she was so soft that she couldn't even hold the big knife in her hand for a while. (Laughter, applause from the audience.) ）

The president of Bu may also smiled faintly and continued:

"That's my personal summary of this short film. However, there is a netizen who is recognized by everyone that his comments are much more incisive than mine. He said that the essence of this movie can be simply summed up in eight words: "The world's martial arts, only the rich are not broken". If you only use four words to describe it, it is "rich and capricious". (Applause, laughter from the audience.) ）

"Here I also casually post a little personal complaint, I hope you don't mind: Mr. Yang Zhijin of Yahu and Mr. Sun Antiyi of Hard Silver, they have always been very happy that they have found a gold medal killer like Ma Yun and a gold medal spokesperson. President Ma Yun has been sparing no effort for many years to strongly increase the stock price support of Yahu Company and Hard Bank Company. ”

"Personally, I think that many people need to do some sober reflection in their hearts: a spokesperson for the world's largest foreign comprador company and a devil's spokesperson, but he has always been regarded as a business superhero, a big star worshiped by all the people, and then received countless flowers and applause along the way. At best, this proves only one thing: we are now in an age of extreme impetuousness, an age of monetary heroes. (Many of the audience members suddenly had some obviously sluggish expressions on their faces.) ）

"People always like to talk about the troika of the domestic Internet circle. So after talking about President Ma Yun, I also want to talk about President Li Yanhong of Du Niang and President Ma Huateng of Arctic Goose. ”

"Everyone likes to talk about the famous 'BAD' three companies, so I might as well come here to rub out the hot spots!"

"Recently, no matter what the occasion, President Li Yanhong always likes to label herself as a 'guide of unmanned driving technology'."

"My personal comment on this is only three words: unreliable!"

"In China and countries with many people and few roads, high population density and congestion countries like Yindu, boasting about unmanned driving technology all day long is actually playing tricks and embroidering legs in the rivers and lakes, which is useless."

"Li Yanhong should adjust the research direction of her company's artificial intelligence professional topic, such as concentrating on how to park a large number of cars indiscriminately at night on major roads and park them into high-rise buildings on both sides."

"Let the road become more like the road, so that the parking difficulty is no longer a social problem, so that it is in line with the development of the new trend of the business era. Now in the central area of any city, if you want to find a temporary parking space, in terms of technical difficulty, it is no less than having a child! This is the real universal pain point of the people! (Laughter, applause from the audience.) ）

"I'll tell you that one of my assumptions about the future is not reliable. In about 20 years' time, the new national law will say that any new high-rise building on any roadside will be strictly inhabited by people under five storeys. Because, on the fifth floor below, there will be a large number of cars living inside. (Applause from the audience.) ）

"The occasional flooding problem in various cities will also be rationalized and improved because of this new law: there will generally be no large amount of flooding to damage cars!"

The president raised his eyebrows playfully, and continued:

"As for President Ma Huateng, I am here to represent the stationery manufacturers in the country and have an open dialogue with her."

"The public joint statement from stationery manufacturers across the country is as follows: The children's New Year's money needs to be used to buy 'stationery', which is a special fund, not used to buy game 'props'." (Laughter and applause from the audience.) ）

"According to the open market data, the total annual sales amount of stationery manufacturers in the country this year is about 50 billion yuan. This figure is less than half of the total sales amount of the annual game "props" of President Ma Huateng's company. ”

"Here, we can't help but raise an off-topic question to be discussed: Is this a comparison between the old and the new in the traditional cultural industry and the emerging Internet industry?!"

"OK, these good-natured teases of mine above are a bit long-winded and seem a bit off-topic. Let's talk about the core issue of today's speech: "The game of the world, only the rich are not broken". ”
